Granular Insights, a free profitability analysis tool for farmers gives farmers the opportunity to measure profitability at the enterprise, crop, field and acre level. Use of Granular Insights software enables the ability to help farmers identify specific, underperforming acres on the farm, and adopt changes to benefit their bottom line. When used in tandem with open equipment platforms combining equipment data and field data into one source of truth, Granular Insights becomes a powerful tool to assess profitability on each acre.
At the request of Granular customers, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever precision agriculture staff can utilize these financial maps to provide conservation solutions that help increase per-acre profit while meeting conservation and production goals on the farm.
“By automatically combining your planting and yield data with estimated revenue and costs, Granular Insights gives farmers insights and the dollars and cents around what’s working field-by-field, and which acres are potentially holding back profits,” said Ben Gordon, Carbon and Ecosystems Services Portfolio Leader for Granular. “Now, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever staff can easily help farmers leverage their data and insights to determine their underperforming land - specifically land that has provided a negative return, and through conservation practices, increase the farms’ overall profit per acre and long-term productivity.”
Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever currently employ ten Precision Ag and Conservation Specialists who work directly with farmers and landowners, along with their trusted advisors, to develop profitable and conservation-based solutions. Granular Insights is an incredible tool utilized by Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever staff to engage with farmers, drive program adoption, and quantify program returns.
“With the increased use of precision ag data and increased interest in subfield profitability, our organization is proud to work with Granular to meet their goal of streamlining data directly to the farmer for decision making purposes,” said Tanner Bruse, Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever Ag & Conservation Program Manager. “Their focus on farmer profitability and sustainability showcases how agriculture and conservation can co-exist within the same field, and how conservation pays acre-by-acre.”
